Look Out For Them.

From the Riverside Press we learn
that "a ship load of 100000 orange
trees are on the way to this State from
Japan, and from J. w. Doran we
learn that they are taken from the in
terror of Japan, where they have
worse orange pests than any in Cali
fornia. 1t is important that there
should be the greatest care exercised
in the introduction of such trees here.
and the attention of the pest inspect
ors of this State is called to the mat
ter" We have never had any scale-
bug up here, and we hope our tree
buyers will look sharp that no trees
are imported which can bring in the
pests. Il Santa Ana Herald.

PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS
The Pioneers Gain Decisive
Victory Over the q. Il m.,s.


SAN Francisco, September A.
About 1900 people witnessed a great
game of ball to-day between the Pio-
neers and Greenhood and Morans.
For five innings the batteries did the
greater portion of the work, but the
in-fielders, with the exception of Shea,
did their share to perfection. He
missed two easy flies and also flm-
bled grounder that tended materially
to the loss OF the game. Lorrigan and
Knell were in the box and puzzled the
heavy hitters with ease. Inning after
inning went by without run. Every
ball that went into the field was cap
tured, and but few men got to the
initial, but on two occasions Long, of
the Greenhood and Morans, got as far
as the third. In the sixth inning the
Pioneers got in five runs, followed by
three in the seventh. The Greenhood
and Morans had about lost their cour-
age, when the eighth inning brought
them one run, and the game closed
in the ninth with the score standing
to l in favor of the Pioneers.
ATLAS VS.. HAvERLYs.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, September A.
The Atlas defeated the Haverlys this
afternoon by outplaying them at every
point. The Sacramentans played a
brilliant game, as there was a record
Of three double plays made at critical
times. The pitchers of the two clubs
were about equally effective, but the
Atlas excelled their opponents in
fielding and batting. A large audi
ence witnessed the game and the day
was perfect one for playing ball.
Hardie played right field for the
Haverlys and his muff fly contributed
much to defeat his club. O'Day
played great second base for the
Atlas, and had five put-outs and six
assists to his credit. The result of the
game puts the Atlas in the lead once
more and their thousands of admir-
ers in Sacramento are in high glee.
After the ninth inning the score stood ::
Atlas 5, Haverlys 3.

what it Costs to Raise a Boy.

"My father never did anything for
me-" recently remarked a young man
who few weeks ago finished his
school life, and is now seeking good
business opening. Judging by the
words and the complaining tone in
which they were uttered, the member
of the firm who heard them is prone
to believe that the young mans idea
OF "doing something" is an outright
gift of 81 900 in a lump or the pur-
chase of partnership in an estab-
lshed concern. This young man, to
the knowledge Of the writer, has
never done one months actual work
for others in his entire life. His life
has been passed in the pleasant pas
times of the home circle, in reading,
studying, hunting, fishing, ball play
ing, yachting, and other employments
not particularly beneficial to others.
He is a type of the class of
boys whose parents are sufficiently
we'll to do to keep servants to attend
the housekeeping drudgery, and whose
fathers follow vocations i'll which no
use can be made of the boys spare
hours. Like most boys of his class,
he looks upon his board and clothes
for twenty years, together with his
pony, jewelry, bicycle, etc, as matters
of course. The writer, while the COM
planning remark was still ringing in
his ears, had the curiosity to make a
conservative compilation of what it
costs to raise an ordinary boy for the
first twenty years Of his life, and here
it is:
300 per year for the first five years. s. 500
$3.50 per year for the second FIVE years $50
5000 per year for the third five years. 600
$500 per year for the next three years 900
$500 per year for the next two years 1 900
Total 49,. .......................$4 .$4 $50
This is moderate estimate of the
financial balance against the boy who
complains that his father has never
done anything for him.-[Buffalo Ex-

DIED DIN THE FLAMES.
A Disastrous Fire at SPOKANE
Falls-lts Origin.


PORTLAND, Ogn., September A
Spokane Falls special says: This
morning fire broke out in the lower
story of frame building occupied by
Gustavus Rudolph as a bakery. Ru-
dolph and family resided in the upper
story of the building and a man
named Toney, a baker in his employ,
slept in the lower part.
ToNEY WAS INTOXICATED.
1t appears that Toney went to bed
early this morning intoxicated and it
is supposed that in rambling around
the room he upset the lamp and set
fire to the building. When the hose
companies arrived the whole building
was mass of flames.
STIRRING SCENES.
1t was with much difficulty that
Rudolph, who is an invalid, was
rescued and his family of small chill
dren were carried out in their
bed clothes. The room occupied by
Toney was enveloped in flames before
the alarm sounded and all efforts to
gain access to it were frustrated.
FEARFUL REVELATION
When at last the fire was overcome
and search was made the charred
remains of Tcney, burnt almost to a
cinder, were discovered on the floor
and close to the door which he had
barred after entering.

Curious Conduct of a Sheriff
Innocent Persons Injured.

Innocent Persons Injured.
HoLBRooK, Ariz., September A.
This evening Sheriff Owens of this
county went into the house of widow
Blevins and killed the youth Blevins,
also mortally wounded William Coop
er and M. B. Roberts, and slightly
wounded John Blevins. Roberts had
no connection with Cooper but had
stopped in the house to write letter.
STORY OF THE SHOOTING.
Owens had warrant for Cooper for
horse stealing, and Owens says that
Cooper resisted arrest, when, as
Cooper says, he shot him and the 9TH
ers through the house without
warning.
AN OUTSTANDING CASE.
The warrant was issued in March
1885, and he and the Sheriff met sew
eral times since and no effort was
made to arrest him. A jury is inves-
tigating the case.

A Boy Destroys His Companions
Eyesight.

PETALUMA, September yesterday
a distressing event occurred by which
a little boy lost his sight. 1t seems
that two boys, named Lowe and Costel-
10 respectively. were playing on the
street. The Costello boy wanted the
other to go up town but met with re-
fusal. Saying that he would be re-
venged, Costello left, but soon returned
WITH A SMALL PACKAGE
in his hand, and while Lowe was in
the act of STOPPING, set fire to the
package and threw it into his face. An
explosion followed, and the little fell
low struggled back, screaming that
HE WAS BLIND.
A doctor was sent for, and, upon care
full examination, pronounced his sight
entirely destroyed. The act seems to
have been premeditated, showing the
utter depravity of Costello.

JOURNALISM CONTROLLED.

This has extended to complete
control of the press, the newspapers
being even forbidden to publish the
ordinary court proceedings, such as
the trial of Hayselden, son-in-law OF
ex-Premier Gibson. So great was this
terrorism that not a single journal in
Honolulu dared to reprint the COM
ment of the American newspapers on
the revolt in Hawaii, although every
one was eager to get copies and to see
for themselves what was said.
AN UNSETTLED FEELING.
Business continues dull, owing to a
sense of insecurity and unrest. 1t is
tacitly admitted that the new constitu-
ton is not final settlement OF the
points at issue. The disfranchisement
of large section of the natives who
will not swear to the constitution and
the restricted franchise is certain to
lead to trouble.
